Family, Relationships
ADVERTIsem*nT
Having a large home is normally a cause for celebration. You have more space and room for kids and you can host friends and family when the need arises. Hosting can be tiring, but rewarding, however, that all goes out the window if the people who have entered your home have no manners at all.
A woman and her husband caused some family drama when they refused to host their in-laws who had absolutely trashed their home the last time they visited. Commenters aggressively sided with OP and did their best to give some suggestions.
Hosting at your home can be a lot of work and fun at the same time

But one woman’s in-laws were such horrible guests that she decided to ban them from their home

We're building our dream house right now. Hubby already joked about not even giving our new address to his family lol. I can't imagine hosting a bunch of obnoxious and oblivious people on holidays.

Just offer them the address of a convenient PO Box. If they want to send something, they can. If they want to visit, well, that'll he a weird experience for them, but whatever floats their boat. Maybe you'll seem them picking up your mail.

My take is that OP and husband have a bigger and nicer house than any of the in-laws, so they think they’re rich and can afford help to clean up after unruly guests, and new furniture when kids and dogs and ill-mannered adults ruin it. Just my opinion here, but it seems that the in-laws plan to take every advantage possible of OP and husband they can think of. Good on them for putting their foot down right away.

I agree. The in laws think their child is a child. The house is a toy and the child needs to share.They do not see it as a home, much less as an investment by their child.This is the plan. Go to the play house and play.

When we bought our new home a few months after we got married, we had his family over for a birthday party. That was almost 31 years ago and they've never been invited over since, although a couple of them have shown up at the door once or twice. Tracked dirt and mud everywhere, would sneak off to visit our traumatized pets that were tucked away in bedrooms with signs instructing "Do Not Open". Left trash everywhere. Half expected to be waited on hand and foot, other half took over where they didn't like what we had planned. No one helped clean up anything.
